Dear John,

The Trump administration recently announced a proposal to charge a fee for seeking asylum in the United States.

It’s the latest in a stream of attacks against people seeking safety in our country. Charging a fee is just wrong. An asylum application fee will leave asylum out of reach for anyone who can’t pay.

In the next two weeks, we all have the opportunity to weigh in on this proposed rule. Click here for our instructions on how to submit a public comment in opposition.

Until December 30th at midnight, anyone can provide a comment explaining why they disagree with the rule change. All comments will need to be reviewed before the new rule can be implemented. If we generate enough comments, we could slow the implementation or stop it completely.

Make a public comment in opposition to the proposed fee for asylum now.

Thank you,
